About Me

Cyclist - tourer, commuter and recreational rider. I have never owned a car, preferring to travel by bicycle, or by public transport on the rare occasion that isn't practical. I was a regular contributor to various internet-based cycling fora over a number of years. This blog is the place where I talk about the life cycling has provided for me, as well as the occasional rant.

Must go on...

I'll need to confirm the exact situation here with a look at my records, but I'm on something of a streak with my cycling at the moment. I have ridden over 1,000 miles (or 1,610km) in every calendar month since March 2003. I mention this because right now, my streak is showing signs of ending here. As of last night (April 14), I only had 553km on the board for the month. Granted, I did lose a few days (including a weekend), to a nasty case of food poisoining, but this was really the last thing I expected -- given the form I'd been in toward the end of March, and the way I normally pick up in the cooler months.

71km today (as well as a full day at work) have improved the situation marginally, but I still need almost 1,000km in two weeks to keep it going. The gauntlet has gone down, and starting this weekend the challenge is on! I really want to make this happen, because if I get through this month, I might just get a good run and string a few together -- and that really will be an impressive streak.

In other news, my home computer is now functioning again, meaning I can now resume showing my pictures to the world, starting with Springbrook tomorrow. Set sail for paradise!
